    71 Chapter 71

    ◎I will always be there.◎

    The late-night snack is a bowl of red bean and barley sugar water.

    Shen Lingjun held a bowl and sat on the small balcony outside, eating absentmindedly. The spoon picked up air several times, but he continued to put it into his mouth without noticing.

    He didn’t know why he entered Liang Ji’an’s room again. Anyway, Liang Ji’an had been holding him since he came back from the small garden, leading him into the house by familiar means and not giving him any other choice.

    Although there were two doors between the balcony and the bathroom, Shen Lingjun seemed to still be able to vaguely hear the sound of trickling water. He was a little worried that Liang Ji’an’s wound would get wet without help, but he was even more worried about whether he would be able to sleep well tonight.

    Not long after, the sound of water stopped completely. Liang Ji’an put on his clothes and wiped his hair half-dried and walked out. He didn’t find Shen Lingjun in the bedroom. He turned to look at the balcony and saw that he was busy with the finished bowl. He was lowering his head and trying hard to put the spoon in the nine o’clock direction.

    “Junjun.” Liang Jian pushed open the balcony door and said with a slight frown, “Why are you eating on the balcony in such a cold weather?”

    Shen Lingjun was startled. The spoon made a crisp sound when it hit the porcelain bowl. He slapped it randomly and said, “No, the room is a bit stuffy. I’ll come out for some air.”

    He stood up and planned to take the bowl to the kitchen downstairs. Liang Jian said with some humor: “Someone will come to clean up tomorrow. Come and sleep.”

    Shen Lingjun quickly raised his eyes and glanced at him. Seeing that Liang Ji’an was dressed neatly, he seemed to be slightly relieved. Although he felt that Liang Ji’an didn’t bother to use any other means to “seduce” him, it was always right to remain vigilant.

    Liang Ji’an probably saw something, but it was a pity that he was obviously not a completely good person, not to mention that it was really fun to tease Shen Lingjun. It seemed that he wanted to ride on someone’s head every day with his teeth and claws. In fact, when he bit someone, he would retract his claws even if he didn’t scratch them hard. In the end, he just threatened him a few times awkwardly.

    Shen Lingjun didn’t know what he was thinking. He was obediently kicking off his slippers and climbing onto the bed when he suddenly heard Liang Ji’an say: “Junjun, help me blow dry my hair.”

    This was not a very difficult request. Shen Lingjun knelt on the bed and took the hair dryer. After adjusting his posture, he found that it was a bit difficult due to the height difference. So he stood on the bed and patted Liang Ji’an on the shoulder, and ordered arrogantly: “Stand up.”

    Liang Jian stood up cooperatively.

    Taking advantage of the height of the bed, Shen Lingjun held the hair dryer condescendingly and started working with a huff. He fiddled with his hands from time to time to avoid overheating. He felt that Liang Ji’an’s hair was a little bit stiff and thought about applying some essential oil to care for it. He also thought that Liang Ji’an’s hairstyle was the same every day, so he also needed to spend a long time in front of the mirror to compare it carefully.

    The hair dryer was suddenly unplugged.

    Shen Lingjun woke up from a dream, touched the top of Liang Ji’an’s head and felt that it was extremely hot, and immediately defended: “I didn’t mean it!”

    Liang Ji’an, with his blown hair on his head, said helplessly: “You murdered your husband, baby.”

    “Are you dissatisfied with me and want to take revenge?”

    Shen Lingjun shook his head crazily and said, “It’s really not!”

    “I’ll bring you some essential oil to remedy the situation.”

    He took a small glass bottle from the bathroom, squeezed two pumps and spread it evenly in the palm of his hand. He motioned to Liang Ji’an to lower his head, but Liang Ji’an seemed dissatisfied that he was distracted during the rare tender time. After sitting on the edge of the bed, he held Shen Lingjun’s waist and pulled him into his arms. “Just wipe it like this and consider it as compensation.”

    Shen Lingjun stretched out his arms to avoid staining his clothes. Hearing this, he did not refuse again. He wiped his clothes and said, “Do you really want me to sleep with you tonight?”

    “I have a very restless sleep. What if I press your injured hand while moving around?”

    “No.” Liang Ji’an said pointedly: “Didn’t you sleep the whole night without moving a few nights ago? It’s not an exaggeration to sleep two adults in the gap between us.”

    Shen Lingjun was completely dismissed and angrily plucked Liang Ji’an’s hair and washed his hands.

    After turning off the light, Shen Lingjun cautiously went to the bedside and slept some more. Liang Ji’an wanted to hug him, but Shen Lingjun was like the famous palace dish. He didn’t touch his hands, the quilt, or the pillow. He hung sideways on the edge of the bed, making Liang Ji’an laugh angrily.

    “Junjun, are you afraid of me?”

    Shen Lingjun remained silent, not only because he was afraid, but he was a little overwhelmed by Liang Ji’an’s kiss that night. Although his brain often had some procedural confusion, it was completely different from the feeling of being pulled out of his mind bit by bit. The latter feeling of trembling nerves was really not good.

    “I won’t do anything.” Liang Jian held his wrist and grabbed him back to lean against him. “After all, one of my hands is injured now.”

    “Although I can pick you up and help you with one hand, I think two hands are more convenient, right?”

    “You can help wipe my tears when I cry, and you can bite me twice when I can’t bear it anymore.”

    His tone was as soft as telling a fairy tale, but the content was so hard that people didn’t dare to think about it. Shen Lingjun put her head on his chest and pretended to be asleep, but Liang Jian continued, “Of course, if Junjun is willing to be more proactive, he doesn’t need to use both hands. Just use his mouth and nose, huh?”

    Shen Lingjun’s face turned red after hearing this. He was either a fool or he just didn’t understand. He could understand the barrage and messages he received when filming the video before, but it was never like this. Perhaps because there was a specific implementation target, even the picture became a little clearer.

    He had been listening to Liang Ji’an’s heartbeat. How could someone say these words without a red face and a heartbeat? He could not sleep even if he pretended to be asleep. Shen Lingjun raised his leg and kicked him. His voice was squeezed out from between his teeth, “Stop talking.”

    He forcefully brought the topic back as if he had made some determination, “I don’t care if your injured hand is recuperating at home or going to work at the company. Anyway, I have to go to school tomorrow.”

    “I will go even if the winter vacation is in twenty days.”

    “I haven’t been out for a long time.”

    Shen Lingjun continued: “Also, you’d better return all my clothes quickly, and remove all the surveillance cameras in my room, do you hear me?!”

    “I will sleep in a room by myself from now on.”

    He was worried that making too many demands at once would be counterproductive, so he gave Liang Jian a little leeway, “You can position yourself on the phone as you wish. Anyway, I’m honest and don’t care.”

    Shen Lingjun did not realize that these were legitimate demands.

    He has gradually become accustomed to Liang Ji’an’s gaze on him every moment.

    Liang Ji’an smiled and said, “Okay.”

    “Then if something happens in the future, don’t take it to heart and say nothing, okay?”

    Shen Lingjun knew that he was talking about what happened at the dinner that day, so he responded dully, and then heard Liang Ji’an say: “I will always be here.”

    Shen Lingjun knows.

    Like, hate, anger, angry, he can have any emotion without any reason, because Liang Ji’an will always support him.

    He no longer needed to hide and cry alone.
